Answer:

The option that best interprets how Hopkins' use of imagery helps create meaning in the poem is "it illustrates the point that over time, people are less and less affected by death"

Step-by-step explanation:

“Spring and Fall” by Gerard Manley Hopkins is a poem that shows how the progress of time changes the reaction of people towards dead and endings as we do not become unsensible but yet more aware of the reasons why do we suffer for this departments, it is about the way humanity grows and learn to see the events differently.
